A performative concert where seven women improvisers create sound and movement live, with no fixed choreography — listening, deciding and shaping the evening together with the audience. It also celebrates 20 years of Mariana Lemos's work as an artist and teacher.
A one-hour guided visit through the royal apartments of the Ajuda Palace to discover how Queen Maria Pia dressed: from her dressing room to the small red room where she kept her dressmaker's bills, and from everyday photos to gala portraits.
A guided walk through downtown Lisbon following the caricaturist and ceramicist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro: his tiles on building façades and the places he drew with humour — Chiado, Rossio, Restauradores, Terreiro do Paço and the City Hall. History told with a smile, outdoors.
A whole free Sunday at a municipal palace in Charneca: a guided visit of the rooms and gardens, workshops for adults and children — including a Cape Verdean cachupa cooking class where you cook a meal together and then eat it — and a concert at 17:30 with Paula Oliveira and Ricardo Dias. Come for an hour or for the day.
A concert about water as memory and connection: Telemann's Wassermusik played by the Divino Sospiro ensemble under Massimo Mazzeo, in dialogue with 20th and 21st century piano works by Raúl da Costa. In a beautiful municipal theatre in Chiado.
The Dutch violinist Tim Kliphuis mixes classical, gypsy jazz and folk in a style all his own — a lively night in an old arms factory turned bookshop-bar and concert space.
On the last Saturday of each month the Portuguese Parliament opens São Bento Palace to the public for free: walk through some of its rooms and join guided visits (booking on the parliament's website).
A free screening of Júlio Silva's documentary on the famines that hit Cape Verde between 1934 and 1949, told through memories and testimonies from seven islands. A meaningful evening in São Bento.
A free guided visit in the São Roque church and museum about the people who made the jewel-like Chapel of St John the Baptist possible in King João V's time — this session focuses on Cardinal-Patriarch Tomás de Almeida.
A theatre piece that gives voice to Camões — his lyric and epic poetry and his letters — and to the modern poets who answered him, from Sophia de Mello Breyner to Saramago. With Lídia Franco and Paulo Filipe.
On Sunday 8 November 2026 at 17:00 the Teatro do Bairro at Rua Luz Soriano 63 in Lisbon gives the last performance of O Casamento de Fígaro, The Marriage of Figaro. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, presents Beaumarchais's 1784 comedy of manners, the play that came before Mozart's opera and mocked the privileges of the aristocracy so sharply that, the listing says, Louis XVI found it detestable. Director António Pires and the Teatro do Bairro company use the translation by Luís Miguel Cintra, and the cast includes Alexandra Rosa, Carolina Campanela, Dinis Gomes, Francisco Vistas and Vera Moura. The run began on 9 October and ends on this date, the age rating is 12 and over, and the standard ticket costs 15 euros with discounts available. A Sunday matinee is a relaxed way to go alone, and you are home early. The running time is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «O Casamento de Fígaro» Starts 17:00, ends about 19:30.

A romantic comedy starring two blind actors, Sara Bentes and Jeffinho Farias, about a couple whose differences bring them closer. Part of a Brazilian theatre season, in a circus-school venue with castle views.
On Sunday 8 November 2026 at 18:00 MACAM, the Museum of Contemporary Art at Rua da Junqueira 66 in Lisbon, runs a free film session in its àCapela space, which doubles as a live-arts venue and bar. The Agenda LX listing, written in Portuguese, describes a Sunday cycle of documentaries by the filmmaker Luís Alves de Matos about artists in the museum's collection. According to the listed programme, the 8 November screening is Blind Runner, An artist under surveillance. Each session shows the film and then a conversation of 20 to 30 minutes, moderated by Adelaide Ginga, with the director and either the artist or a specialist on their work. Admission is listed as free. The cycle continues every Sunday until 29 November. A documentary followed by a moderated talk gives a solo visitor an easy way in, because the discussion starts for you and the bar is next door. «Cinema àCapela – Ciclo Luís Alves de Matos» Starts 18:00, ends about 20:00.

On Monday 9 November 2026 at 21:00 Casa da Achada, a small cultural association in Lisbon's Graça area, holds its weekly film evening on the eve of Web Summit. The Agenda LX listing, written in Portuguese, describes the cycle as inspired by the photographer Giuseppe Morandi, whose exhibited photographs gave voice and dignity to the people around him, and it follows filmmakers who know the worlds they film from the inside. For 9 November the programme lists Balada de um Batráquio by Leonor Teles and Exílios by Tony Gatlif. The listing does not state a ticket price, so check with the association before you go. A neighbourhood film night with a handful of other viewers is a quiet way to meet local people while you are alone in Lisbon, and the association's rooms are closer to a living room than a cinema. «É a nossa história, é a nossa vida» Starts 21:00, ends about 23:00.

On Monday 9 November 2026 at 21:30 the Capitólio, the auditorium at Parque Mayer in Lisbon, hosts Rodrigo Cuevas with his show La Belleza, as part of Misty Fest 2026. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, describes a creation that mixes music, theatre and folk tradition with a contemporary approach, based on his album Manual de Belleza. The listing calls the concert vibrant and immersive and presents Cuevas as one of the most distinctive voices in Iberian performing arts over the last decade, moving between concert, theatre and village festival with traditional song, electronic textures, humour and a charismatic stage presence. The ticket is listed at 25 euros, so this is a paid concert rather than a free event. A music night with a lively, funny performer is easy to join alone, since the whole room shares the same reaction. The concert length is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «Rodrigo Cuevas» Starts 21:30, ends about 23:00.

On Tuesday 10 November 2026 at 21:00 the Canadian pop artist Allie X plays B.Leza, a club venue in Armazém B on the Cais da Ribeira Nova by the Tagus in Lisbon. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, describes her as a pop diva who follows her own path and says she is presenting her album Happiness Is Going To Get You. The ticket is listed at 26 euros, so this is a paid concert rather than a free event. She sings in English, which helps visitors who do not speak Portuguese. A club-sized gig on a Tuesday night by the river is easy to join alone: most people in the room are there for the music, and a venue of this size lets you stand near the stage or by the bar as you prefer. The doors time and length of the set are not listed, so the end time here is approximate. «Allie X» Starts 21:00, ends about 23:00.

On Tuesday 10 November 2026 at 21:00 the New York duo The Last Internationale play Lisboa ao Vivo, a live-music club in eastern Lisbon, in the middle of Web Summit week. The Agenda LX listing, written in Portuguese, introduces the band as singer Delila Paz and guitarist Edgey, formed in 2008, with three albums behind them and a latest studio record, Running for a Dream, from March 2023. It adds that they opened a Guns N' Roses tour and have played several of Europe's large festivals, and that this is their own headline tour. The listed ticket price is 28 euros. A standing rock gig is an easy night out on your own after a day of conferences: the music gives everyone the same focus, the bar is close, and nobody expects you to arrive with a group. «The Last Internationale» Starts 21:00, ends about 23:00.

On Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 19:30 the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, the national theatre on Praça Dom Pedro IV in Lisbon, stages Festa. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, calls a party a place where strangers meet, with tensions and desire but also alliances, and a space where hierarchies are turned upside down and new forms of living together appear. The piece was created by Gonçalo Amorim and Marcio Abreu, bringing together the Teatro Experimental do Porto and the Companhia Brasileira de Teatro, with the performers Grace Passô, Gonçalo Amorim, João Miguel Mota and Yuck Miranda. The show runs until 14 November. The standard ticket price is listed as 13 euros, with discounts available. A show about strangers meeting is a good fit for coming alone. The running time is not listed, so the end time here is approximate. «Festa» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:30. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 21:00 the Clube Estefânia, a cultural centre and bookshop at Rua Alexandre Braga 24A in Lisbon, presents Ano 2200, a solo play written, directed and performed by Maria de Vasconcelos. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, describes a dystopian allegory set on a planet where oxygen has become an artificial resource and humans survive shut in small flats like fish in a tank. An authoritarian system turns isolation into the norm, puts public space under military control and ends cultural life, until people lose the ability to see, hear, smell, taste and finally speak. The show is listed for 11 and 12 November, for ages 12 and over, with a standard ticket of 12.50 euros and discounts available. The venue takes enquiries and bookings from Tuesday to Sunday between 15:00 and 20:00. A one-person show in a bookshop-theatre is an easy evening to attend alone. The running time is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «Ano 2200» Starts 21:00, ends about 22:15. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 21:00 the Teatro Armando Cortez at Estrada da Pontinha 7 in Lisbon presents 50 Madrugadas, a show by the Companhia da Esquina. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, sets it in a newsroom where a group of journalists works on an article about fado and democracy. As they explore the work of the poet Ary dos Santos and other authors linked to the 25 April revolution, the night turns into a journey of memories, debates and celebration, with talk about politics, fascism, fado and cultural heritage. The piece builds towards the dawn of 25 April, the day Portugal woke to freedom. Three actors, Sofia Ramos, Ricardo Raposo and Pedro Pernas, perform with the musicians António Martins on Portuguese guitar and Pedro Saltão on fado guitar. The listing gives 21 October to 25 November as the run, on Wednesdays, with a ticket of 15 euros. Live fado makes a good evening for one. The running time is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «50 Madrugadas» Starts 21:00, ends about 22:30. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Thursday 12 November 2026 at 19:30 the Teatro da Garagem opens Stabat Mater at the Teatro Taborda, Costa do Castelo 75, a small theatre on the hill below Lisbon's castle. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, says the piece moves the old image of the mother at the foot of the cross into stories of our time: the pain of seeing a young child struggle, the drift of an addiction, a road accident, the conflict between motherhood and a cause that calls for other sons and daughters, and finally the cry of a mother who is no longer human. The text and direction are by Carlos J. Pessoa, and the two performers are Custódia Gallego and Célia Teixeira. The run goes from 12 to 22 November, Thursdays at 19:30, Fridays and Saturdays at 21:00 and Sundays at 16:30. Tickets cost between 6 and 12 euros. An early-evening start makes this a simple plan alone. The running time is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «Stabat Mater» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:00.

On Thursday 12 November 2026 at 20:00 the library of the Casa do Alentejo, a regional association in a historic building at Rua das Portas de Santo Antão 58 near Rossio, shows a free film. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, describes VEJA, a cinema cycle that gives a retrospective of the director Sérgio Tréfaut. One programme is shown each month and repeated every Thursday, so people can watch without rushing and come back to a film. The November programme is two documentaries, A Cidade dos Mortos from 2009, which runs 60 minutes, and Waiting for Paradise from 2009, which runs 20 minutes. Together they last about 80 minutes. The cycle is listed as free and runs on Thursdays until January 2027. Watching a documentary in a library room is a calm way to spend an evening alone in a central neighbourhood, with no need to talk to anyone but with other viewers around. «VEJA - Ciclo Sérgio Tréfaut» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:30.

On Thursday 12 November 2026 at 21:00 the Boutique da Cultura, a neighbourhood theatre of the Um Teatro em Cada Bairro network on Avenida Colégio Militar in Lisbon, stages As mulheres com Abril na boca, The women with April in their mouths. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, sets the play in a cell with a Bible and three women who turn out to be sisters. They were jailed for trying to defend what was left of freedom, and in silence they start asking each other the questions they never dared to ask, about being free, about being a woman, about life and death. It is written and directed by Daniel Céu Silva and performed by Catarina Maralli, Catarina Marques Ramos and Diana Fox. The run goes from 11 to 28 November, the age rating is 14 and over, and the standard ticket costs 10 euros. A small neighbourhood theatre is an easy place to arrive alone. The running time is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «As mulheres com Abril na boca» Starts 21:00, ends about 22:15.

On Thursday 12 November 2026 at 21:00 the company Artistas Unidos opens Rua Gagarin at the Teatro Paulo Claro, Rua do Açúcar 37 in Lisbon. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, describes Gregory Burke's play as a mix of anarchy, communism and black comedy. In a warehouse of a multinational, a few workers try to organise a heist that turns into an act of violence posing as a political statement. The author wanted to write about economics, the real source of power in global society, and the endless human capacity for self-deception. It is directed by Andreia Bento and performed by Francisco Pereira de Almeida, João Vicente, Nuno Gonçalo Rodrigues and Rúben Gomes. The run goes to 19 December, the age rating is 16 and over, and the ticket costs 12 euros, or 7 euros on Tuesdays. Reservations are by phone or email through the company. The running time is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «Rua Gagarin» Starts 21:00, ends about 23:00. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Friday 13 November 2026 at 19:30 the Teatro do Bairro Alto at Rua Tenente Raúl Cascais 1A in Lisbon shows Haribo Kimchi by the Korean artist Jaha Koo, as part of the Alkantara Festival. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, places the audience in a pojangmacha, one of South Korea's typical night-time street-food bars, where three characters, a snail, a gummy bear and an eel, guide a journey about food as a refuge for people living far from their culture. The performance is in Korean and English with Portuguese and English subtitles, so visitors who do not speak Portuguese can follow it. The ticket is 12 euros, and the show is also covered by the Passe Cultura, sold only at the theatre box office. It runs until 15 November. The English subtitles and the festival crowd make this one of the easiest shows of the week to attend alone. The running time is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «Haribo Kimchi» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:00. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Friday 13 November 2026 at 20:00 the São Luiz Teatro Municipal, the municipal theatre at Rua António Maria Cardoso 38 in Chiado, presents Lo speziale, The Apothecary, a comic opera in three acts by Joseph Haydn with a libretto by Carlo Goldoni. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, says the soloists are the participants of the 2026/27 Opera Studio of the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, with stage and vocal direction by Jorge Vaz de Carvalho and musical direction by João Paulo Santos. Admission is free, subject to the capacity of the room. Tickets are given out on the day at the theatre box office from one hour before the start, up to two per person. A second performance is listed for 15 November. Because tickets are handed out at the door, going alone is simple, and an opera sung by young singers is a good plan for a Friday night in the centre. «Lo speziale» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:30.

On Friday 13 November 2026 at 20:00 the Centro Cultural de Belém, the cultural centre at Praça do Império in Belém, hosts the early-music group Sete Lágrimas performing the Cancioneiro de Elvas. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, explains that the project is a six-part series dedicated to a Portuguese manuscript from the third quarter of the sixteenth century, singing the 65 secular songs kept in the codex and adding new music by Filipe Faria and Sérgio Peixoto for the 36 romances, glosas and cantigas that survive without music. The musicians play voice, adufe, flute, harp, vihuela, viola da gamba and violone. A pre-concert talk by Manuel Pedro Ferreira starts at 19:30, and the concert is interpreted in Portuguese Sign Language. Tickets are listed at 20 or 25 euros, so this is a paid concert. The talk before the music gives a solo visitor something to listen to and someone to chat with. The concert length is not listed, so the end time is approximate. «Sete Lágrimas» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:30.

On Friday 13 November 2026 at 21:00 the singer Cat Power performs at the Sagres Campo Pequeno cultural centre in Lisbon, as part of the Misty Fest programme. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, says she returns to Portugal for a single concert celebrating twenty years of The Greatest, the 2006 album that redefined her career, and describes the night as one of emotion, intimacy and intensity. The listed tickets run from 30 to 100 euros depending on the seat. Campo Pequeno is a central venue beside the metro and a short ride from the Web Summit site, so it works well for a visitor who has finished a conference day and wants something quiet but memorable. A seated indie concert of one album played in full is a gentle setting for going alone, since the room listens instead of talking. «Cat Power — The Greatest» Starts 21:00, ends about 23:00. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Friday 13 November 2026 at 21:00 the Italian pianist Andrea Vanzo plays an intimate concert at Teatro Tivoli BBVA on Avenida da Liberdade, in central Lisbon. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, describes his contemporary classical music as minimalist and nostalgic, with a cinematic sound inspired by Italian landscapes. He presents Intimacy Vol. 2, released in 2025, together with pieces from across his career, after Intimacy Vol. 1 in 2022. Tickets are listed from 27 to 41 euros. The theatre sits on Lisbon's grand central avenue, within easy reach of hotels and the metro, so it is simple to reach after a Web Summit day. Solo piano is a calm choice for a visitor alone: the room is hushed, the programme asks nothing of you, and you can leave with the crowd or stay for a late drink on the avenue. «Andrea Vanzo» Starts 21:00, ends about 22:30.

Brazil's Multifoco company stages Matéi Visniec's play built from the stories of refugees in Europe. Part of a Brazilian theatre season in a circus-school venue with castle views.
On Friday 13 November 2026 at 21:30 the Brazilian singer-songwriter Rubel performs alone with voice and guitar at the Coliseu dos Recreios, the historic hall near Rossio in central Lisbon. The Agenda LX listing, in Portuguese, describes a stripped-back concert that returns to the essence of the start of his career, with careful listening in which every word carries weight, and songs from across his catalogue including the recent album Beleza. Tickets are listed from 20 to 50 euros. The Coliseu is a short walk from the central hotels and the metro, which makes it practical after Web Summit sessions. A solo acoustic show is one of the friendliest evenings for a person on their own, because the audience is quiet and attentive, and the old hall gives a real sense of being in Lisbon rather than in any conference city. «Rubel» Starts 21:30, ends about 23:30. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
A guided visit to the museum of the satirist and ceramicist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, led by a Deaf mediator in Portuguese Sign Language with an interpreter for hearing visitors — a lovely way to discover his best-known works.
On Saturday 14 November 2026 at 18:30 the Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa performs at Teatro Camões in Lisbon's Parque das Nações, close to the Web Summit grounds. According to the Agenda LX listing, written in Portuguese, the programme is Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune and La mer, Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte, and Luís de Freitas Branco's Violin Concerto with the Portuguese soloist Carlos Damas. The musicologist Filipe Gaspar introduces the evening. Tickets are listed at 25 and 35 euros. An early-evening orchestral concert is one of the easiest ways to spend a night alone in a new city: you sit in a row of strangers, the spoken introduction helps you follow the music, and the riverside district around the theatre is pleasant for a walk afterwards. «Claude Debussy: La Mer» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:30. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Saturday 14 November 2026 at 19:30 the Prosa cultural platform in Lisbon shows Alain Resnais's Last Year at Marienbad (1961, 1h34) as the November session of its Luzes na Caverna cycle. The Agenda LX listing, written in Portuguese, says the series treats cinema as an instrument of thought. In a strange, isolated castle a man tells a woman that they have met before, and memory, desire and reality become hard to tell apart. The film is shown in a room limited to 24 viewers, with Portuguese subtitles for spoken English and a talk after the film. The listing says admission is free with a suggested donation of 3 euros. A small screening followed by a conversation is a very good setting to meet someone on your own, because the discussion begins immediately and the whole room takes part. «Luzes na Caverna XV» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:45. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Saturday 14 November 2026 at 21:00 Chapitô, the circus and arts school beneath Lisbon's castle, stages Esperando…, a Brazilian adaptation of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, as part of its Mostra de Teatro do Brasil. The Agenda LX listing, written in Portuguese, describes two men waiting for something that never arrives, filling the endless time with the emptiness of purposeless actions. Tickets are listed at 12 euros. Chapitô is on the hillside below the Castelo de São Jorge, with a terrace that looks over the old town, so you can arrive early for a drink and a view. A short play in a small venue is a sociable choice for a visitor on their own, since the audience is small, the staging is intimate, and the bar upstairs is a natural place to talk afterwards. «Esperando...» Starts 21:00, ends about 22:30. Source: Câmara Municipal de Lisboa — Agenda Cultural de Lisboa, dados abertos (CC BY).
On Saturday 14 November 2026 at 21:30 the Canadian singer-songwriter Frazey Ford plays Lisboa ao Vivo, the live-music club in eastern Lisbon, in her first Portuguese appearance. The Agenda LX listing, written in Portuguese, calls her voice one of the most magnetic in contemporary music and says she presents U kin B the Sun, an internationally praised record that blends soul, folk and a touch of psychedelia. The concert is part of the Misty Fest programme, and the listed ticket price is 26 euros. It is a good final evening for Web Summit visitors who stay through the weekend: the music is warm and unhurried, the room is small enough that you do not need a group to feel part of it, and a drink at the bar before the set is an easy way to start a conversation. «Frazey Ford» Starts 21:30, ends about 23:15.

In a bakery that doesn't sell dreams, people cross paths every day; a lost man asking for directions finds himself inside a symphony of gestures, sounds and silence. Part of a Brazilian theatre season.
